Wasn`t this the Wilno Cannon?

My notes credit this big gun with

Looking on the net on cannon acts it was Cliff Aeros that had the cannon act on Sells Floto in 1929.
The Leinert cannons were at Mills Bros in England and in Japan till 1933.
The net said Leinert cannons were very similar to the Aeros cannons.
I have a ink blotter with Sells Floto on it with the Aeros cannon on it.
Harry in Texas

Thanks Chic, I believe Wilno was with Hagenbeck Wallace, but didn`t ever hear of him with Sells Floto. I wasn`t sure though.
